Foothills Family Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available year-round at Foothills Family Campground in Forest City, North Carolina, and full hookups (electric, water, and sewer) accommodate RVs up to 50 feet. The internal roads are dirt, rutted, and steep, a detail worth knowing before arrival. One reviewer noted they were glad to unhook their Jeep before navigating the RV to the site, and that the site itself was level and clean with full hookups at a reasonable price. Tent sites are also available, making this a workable stop for campers without rigs.

The campground provides drinking water, showers, a laundry area, a small camp store, and WiFi. Hiking trails run directly through the facility. A pool operates seasonally. Most campers staying here are seasonal or long-term residents, so overnighters may find the atmosphere leaning toward a residential feel. Sites closer to the office tend to get more noise; choosing a spot further back puts campers nearer the trailheads. Cell service details are not widely reported, but WiFi is on-site.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews, with multiple campers noting well-maintained grounds. The main road approaching the campground has a hill that can cause vehicles to pick up speed, so drivers should reduce pace before the turn-off. Pets are allowed. Nearby alternatives include Yates RV Resort to the north and Breezy's Lake & RV Park to the northeast. Foothills makes the most sense for RV travelers needing full hookups and a base with on-site trails in the North Carolina foothills.

Nice owners - mostly long term campers

We stayed here one night on our way through the area.  The owners were very nice and helped us get situated in our site.  The roads in the campground are dirt, rutted, and steep.  I am glad we unhooked our Jeep before navigating our RV to the site.  The RV rocked and rolled quite a bit :-) The site was level, clean with full hook-ups.  The price was very reasonable.  Most campers were seasonal or long-term campers.

Charming Campground

Following highways signs looking for this campground I didn’t know what to expect. I was hoping for a tent site but wasn’t sure what I would find. In this area I had seen many RV parka but few tent site areas so I was pleased to pull up and see tents!

When I went into the office I was greeted by a very pleasant woman who gave me a map and told me a bit about the camp, which included a nice restroom/laundry and pool area (seasonally open).

They also offered WiFi and hiking trails right in the camping facility which was right up my alley!!

I arrived just before the end of the summer season so everything was up and running and it was perfect! The camp offers a small camp store and is also relatively close to other stores in neighboring town.

TIPS:

  • Opt for a spot a little further away from the office, it is quieter and closer to trails.

  • Drive slowly on the way out to the campsite, not just on the gravel road but on the main road, there are several patrols right before the turn off which use the hill area for a good hiding spot because the hill causes you to speed if you are a bit heavy. BE MINDFUL!
